•100 WORD DESCRIPTION

Kyle McKinley's Pedalgogy is one work from the on-going series bicilogues, all of which use dialogue as metaphor for how personal and collective narratives are inscribed on space through the act of bicycling. In this piece participants reproduce the gestures of cycling, cooperating with one another, and the piece itself, in order to activate the collected stories about bikes. Pedalgogy appears as part of an installation entitled building, which will be informed by a series of games, workshops and experiments which explore critical spatial practices and participatory software in collaboration with Nick Lally and selected participants.

• Bio:

Kyle McKinley cares about friendships, public education, and bicycling. His practices involve extended collaborations with artist collectives and bicycle tool cooperatives, with an eye to intervening in the production of the spaces of late capitalism. Since coming to DANM this has increasingly included investigation of how our physical bodies interact with technologies to produce space and how our social bodies interact with technologies to produce meaning.
